Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15-ounce) can coconut milk
- 2 cups almond milk
- 5 egg yolks
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 chai tea bags
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: bourbon, rum, or brandy
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a large saucepan, combine coconut milk, almond milk, egg yolks, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk vigorously for one minute until smooth and frothy.
- Heat the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally as the liquid warms. Watch carefully for tiny bubbles at the edges. Do not let it boil.
- Simmer with Chai: Lower heat to medium-low. Add the chai tea bags and simmer gently for three minutes, stirring to prevent sticking. Remove and discard the tea bags.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in vanilla extract until well combined. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with more maple syrup if needed.
- Optional Spirits: For a spiked version, add 1.5 ounces of bourbon, rum, or brandy per cup of Chai Eggnog.
- Chill and Serve: Pour the eggnog into a heat-safe container. Refrigerate for up to three days. Serve chilled in mugs or glasses.
